I am receiving the following error when I try to navigate to a website I have deployed to the production machine.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Now the basic error (Object reference not set..) is something I have encountered before. What has me stumped is the "No relevant source lines" and the fact that the Source File of the error is a temporary one.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as to what the issue might be.

This is the controller/view combination that is giving me trouble:
[Authorize]
[NewHireFilter]
public ActionResult NewEmpForm()
{
HttpCookie authCookie = Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName];
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(authCookie.Value);
Int32 newHireID = Convert.ToInt32(ticket.Name);
Employee newEmp;
newEmp = dbContext.Employees.FirstOrDefault(e => e.EmployeeID == newHireID);
return View(newEmp);
}
However, this one works just fine:
[Authorize]
[NewHireFilter]
public ActionResult ModuleOne()
{
ModuleOneViewModel vm = new ModuleOneViewModel();
HttpCookie authCookie = Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName];
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(authCookie.Value);
Int32 newHireID = Convert.ToInt32(ticket.Name);
vm.newHire = dbContext.Employees.FirstOrDefault(e => e.EmployeeID == newHireID);
return View(vm);
}
Again, I would really appreciate any help as this is a perplexing issue to me.
Thanks.
